Road of Life Podcast Episode 30
In this paradigm-shifting episode, we tackle the myth that self-acceptance and self-improvement are mutually exclusive.
We instead, discuss a bold new truth: Embracing yourself as enough in this very moment does not preclude the desire for growth, change, and evolution....in fact, it's a pre-requisite for it!
So many of us believe our shortcomings in relationships, health, or life circumstances define our value...which is completely false. This new perspective might be a bit of a mind-effff: You can be a work in progress AND a masterpiece at the same time (Thank you Cayla Kimble for that analogy).
If you're ready to shatter the lie that self-acceptance hinders growth, this episode will be rocket fuel for your transformation - in your relationship, in your health, in your career, in your life.

Episode 28 of the Road of Life Podcast:
Truth Bomb: You either pay the price for your dreams now or pay the cost of not having them later.
Drawing from the wisdom of Dr Ben Hardy and Naval Ravikant, we explore how every decision we make is either an investment in, or a cost to, our future self. And how those decisions compounds over time, either leading to a life of ease and fulfillment or difficulty and regret.
Through the lens of relationships, we reveal how the choices we make today — to be vulnerable, brave, and engage in sometimes uncomfortable conversations — are the very investments that yield a lifetime of relationship riches.
Buckle up for a laugh when we share personal examples of the "prices" we pay daily to nurture our relationship, demonstrating that short-term discomfort is a small price to pay for long-term happiness. (This is the best part...)
If you're ready to invest in yourself and your relationships, this episode is a must-listen.
Discover the transformative power of compound interest in your relationship.
Tune in now and start making the hard decisions that lead to an easy, joy-filled life and thriving relationships.

We all get dealt a hand in life...some people are dealt a pair of aces, some get dealt a 2 and a 7...but we can all WIN with the hand we're dealt.

Overcoming this bad hand becomes your super power in life. That's how you win.
So, how do you play your hand so you can win? It all comes down to you and controlling what you can control in your life.
About Us
Life partners. Business partners. Best friends.
Working to become the best version of ourselves, while living our dream life...and helping others do the same.
We are Meredith & Craig, we left the 9-5 corporate grind, to become full time entrepreneurs....and had no idea what we were doing.
But we knew we were unhappy and unfulfilled in our corporate careers and that life is just too short to be unhappy and unfulfilled, so we decided to make a massive change and leave.
We wanted to be more intentional about building a life that we loved. Not the one we grew up believing we were destined for because that’s what we were told.
So, we went completely against our nature and decided to jump out of the plane and build our parachute on the way down.
Which made for some interesting, amazing, stressful, awesome, painful, insightful, scary, awful, awesome, unbelievable decisions, moments, experiences, relationships, and quite honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Through it all we’ve developed a growth mindset, and grew exponentially as individuals, we built businesses, most of which sucked, got in the best shape of our lives in our forties, and did all of it while strengthening our marriage and making it bulletproof.
Our marriage is the foundation for everything else we build in our lives. It is a cheat code for life, and we believe that having that dialed in helps every other facet of life and that has become our passion.
We help others live their dream life and that starts with having that rock solid relationship where you don’t need to spend valuable time and energy repairing a relationship.
When you have that dialed in it only requires maintenance which leaves so much time and energy to focus on building the life of your dreams together.
We love helping others get that part of their lives exactly where they’ve always wanted it, so they can crush the rest of their lives.
